1989 Jeep Wrangler ISLANDER

Ladies and Gentleman, If you are looking for the Dominic Torretto Fast and The Furious "I live my life 1 quarter mile at a time" type of vehicle, this is not the page you should be on. Try using keywords such as "Scion" or "Subaru" in the ebay search box and best of luck on what you're looking for. If you're looking for the Jeep Wrangler that just pounds the road moving at a smooth 0 - 60 in 14 seconds sounding like The American Pharaoh out of the gates at The Preakness in 2015 on the way to the Triple Crown, this might be something you might be interested in. I've been through hell and high water with this Jeep, but a wise man once told me, "You gotta get through the bullshit to get the beauty." I've owned it for a few years now. Bought it from a John Doe Craigslist add awhile back. Needed to be restored. Sent it to the frame shop and had it completely blasted and patched where it needed. Finished it off with Ziebart protection care and it goes twice a year even though its only recomended once. Had the complete paint job done with the original Pacific Blue and Islander stripe kit put on (done by a 5 star mechanic correctly 3 years ago). The interior was completely redone as well. You can see all of this with the photos. If you've been following these Islander sales lately, there was a blue one with around 40,000 miles (allegedly) with Vin issues, meaning the odometer was probably rolled back, and that was up for 25K and sold in 3 days. Last week there was a blue one that was in ok shape, no hard top, 100,000 miles on it and it sold for 13K. Remember, "You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle." This vehicle doesn't even have 65,000 miles on it yet. 63 and some change. It's my daily driver so If it takes a minute to sell it the official mileage will change. Might not even get to 64,000 by that time but just doing it for the sake of the page. This Jeep is almost 33 years old and it's not perfect. But I'm not even gonna sugar coat it. It's pretty god damn close to perfect. This Jeep wasn't built in a day. Neither was Rome. It took some time to put it all together. But man it looks and runs great now. Unlike these other alleged Jeep resto vehicles, I have the photos of when I bought it. This was not a rust bucket like the other current listing or other listings. This is a well maintained Jeep with all professional work done to it. This listing is not any of the following:my loss is your gainlife got complicated, gotta let her go had her too long, gotta let her go out to pastureI wouldn't hesitate to drive this car cross country (because its a POS and will overheat going over 50 MPH)I can't believe I'm doing this so buy it before I change my mind I'm gonna really be kicking myself in the ass down the road for this a quick rust bucket resto like current and previous listings that have sold which is bad for the ebay community. Here are some of the basic things I have done over time to bring this Jeep to where it is todayframe restorationcomplete 5 star paint job interior restoration. Bedrug interior, gray in color. Corbeau front seats. Original rear seat is in excellent shapeput a removable 22 x 36 sunroof in the hard top. Didn't purchase soft top yet so I thought of this idea which has been one of the best modifications I've done. It's greatpurchased a new engine from Titan Engines in Florida in Nov 2020 with a 3 year warranty. Over the years of trying to keep it original with the carb, I hated it. So I bought the new engine and the throttle body kit and it runs fantastic. I have that paperwork because that was a big spend for this vehicle (still under warranty for 2 1/2 years)Howell throttle bottle fuel injection kit Mean Green 400 AMP alternator Borla cat back exhaust that sounds greatbrand new audio. All new speakers, sound bar, Jensen touch audio display with all the options. Siruis XM, Apple car play, bluetooth, etc .. 03 - 06 Rubicon wheelsBF Goodrich all terrain tires AC kit that blows ice cold. AwesomeBrakes, Rotors, U joints, Leaf springs, manifold, and the list goes on. Pretty much everything over the last 3 years has been replacedThe few things that could be done still that are not deal breaking issues:replace the hard top 1/4 window trim moulding with finish clip, which I have but haven't put on yetreplace the bushings inside the holes on the door hinges to tighten up how the doors swing, open and shut. I purchased them but haven't had the time to put them on yet (UPDATE - DONE)remove the antenna from the panel, spray it black (clear) and put back on. Could use a fresh look but it doesn't bother me too muchthe aftermarket bumpers look good, but they were sanded down and sprayed with clear to give it a shiny look. They still look good, but there I am starting to see some small imperfections that I personally don't like, but I haven't had the time to get that done yet. the armrest in the middle is worn a bit. It is aftermarket and could be replacedone of the wheels has minor scuffing. Could use a coating if it bothers you but its not bad. The wheels and tires are maybe 9 months old. never had a soft top yet that I know of. If I end up keeping it I'm putting 1 onsmall imperfection on door half the size of a dime and small imperfection on front driver side trim over wheel well Please contact me with questions/comments at (773) 771-0747 .

If you are sending messages, please make sure the title of the email or the message says "Jeep wrangler Islander sale" so I know to make sure to open it and get back to you in a proper manner. Best of luckThanks, Bret WUPDATE FOR SALE:I've had some people with very serious mental health issues or possible scammers that for some reason look at ebay motors car sales adds and sent messages that they will purchase, but give john doe stories about payment issues. God bless these people and I pray that you get the help you need. It's not difficult to say you are going to purchase and send the check. It's really concerning that these things happen in the Ebay community. Keep and eye out for these Members and phone #'s that I've had issues with:Ebay User : jlneon-dog .... this guy is a hack and I am currently trying to have him banned from ebay. This handy bought it and then never responded to my messages and didn't pay. I heard from a knowledgeable source that he tried hitting up Montel Williams @ Money mutual and JG Wentworth @ 877- CASHNOW for hard money loans but was turned away with a record low 214 Experian credit score allegedly. I can't confirm the rumors at this time but the source is steady.(646) 580-376* - I won't put the last number in there but beware that this person has some serious issues and is a problem for the ebay community. (470) 228-015* - the individual with the contact says he is currently purchasing, sending cashiers check, but for some reason acting suspicious and taking time sending check, communicating, etc. One other possible thing I might suspect is these individuals may be selling something similar to my vehicle. These people asked me to take down my listing also because they were allegedly done deals. So interesting that people would take the time out of theyre day to do things like this. Pretty disturbing. Situations like this make me pray for the future of the Ebay community. This vehicle is still for sale though as of Saturday, 04 Sep 2021. Checks allegedly coming maybe. I've heard some great stories on how to purchase this vehicle. Not sure if I want to laugh or cry about how some people carry themselves. All we can do is pray for them I guess
